A Seasonable Topic.

In our grandtathers' days they marked the flight of time by the "Old Farmers Almanac" Now, the omnipresent Calendar is perpetual reminder of the tieeting seasons.
 The days in year do not outnum- Der the sizes, shapes and styles in which it appears; and alike in the merchants counting room, or lady's boudoir, it seems to have become one of the necessities of the utilitarian age in which we live.
 The artists talent, the engraver's cunning, and the printers skill, con- bine in this connection to blend the ornamental with the useful and the result is calendars of every degree of excellence, good, better and best.
 The latter includes the one issued by N. w. Aver & son, Philadelphia, which will be forwarded to any ad- dress, securely enclosed, on receipt of 25 cts.

The Epilogue of Paris Tragedy.
London Modern Society.

M. Carlin, who, with his mistress, i destroyed himself the other day in a , lodging house in Eastern square, who was well known in Paris, and one of the most prominent coulissiers of the Bourse there. His offices in the Rue Vivienne were the resort of all men who had daring schemes to propose, and his dinners at his private apart ment ill the Avenue D'Antin were celebrated. Oddly enough he was most unpleasantly mixed up in a su- icide business some four years ago, a tragical event which made a great noise at the time. He, in concert with a certain tinancier,. as daring as him. self, named Bierdmann, attempted to initiate the dangerous tricks played in Wall street, New York, and endeav- ored to make "corner" in oil-i. G., to buy up all the oil, and then sell at famine prices. They had, however, counted without their host, and, after having bought up for millions of francs together, the heart of Bieder- mann failed him, and, having no more money, seeing ruin staring him in the face by the failure of the scheme, Biedermann called on Carlin one morn- ing, in the Avenue d'Antin, at the breakfast hour, and, after having re- preached his partner, blew out his brains while Carlin was slipping his coffee. Carlin was never the same man afterward, for, although no blame attached to him, many shrank from associating with one who had been mixed up in such tragedy.
